Biography
Hi! My name is Elsa Swanson, and I am currently completing the AP Capstone program at Rock Canyon High School.
I have always been interested in the brain and everything that it controls. One this that has always entrapped my interests is the disease dementia.
Since experiencing it, I have realized my future will invlove neuroscience and attempting to help those that are affected.
This lead me to my research project, while I am unable to perform research involving the brain close up. I thought there is not better way to begin my research with dementia, than studying how it affects those around them.
